I walk by the Broadway theatre where "Rock of Ages" is playing most every night as I go to work. And the closing number (during the curtain calls?) can be heard out on the street as the people stream out of the theatre - it's "Don't Stop Believing" by Journey.

Nobody's asked me, and for alls I know, they already do this - I never stick around long enough to find out - but they should just stop the song cold and let the stage go dark instantly, a la the finale of 'The Sopranos'.I'm just sayin', is all......

A little something different for today's "As Seen On TV" feature upon our return to regular posting after vacation......

Global TV is showing "Bob & Doug" on Sunday nights. It's an animated look at Bob and Doug MacKenzie, the characters created by Dave Thomas and Rick Moranis for SCTV. The MacKenzie Brothers have also appeared on a 1983 installment of 'Saturday Night Live' (hosted by Lily Tomlin) and starred in their own cinematic spin-off, "Strange Brew".

They had an earlier series set in the Tooniverse back in 2003, but I'm not sure if this new show is a spin-off, or for alls I know, it's the same series rerun. BCnU!

Just An Old Cowhand On The TiVo Grande

As the Trickster once said, "Reality is boring, that's why I change it whenever I can."
I'm just "The Man Who Viewed Too Much", and "Inner Toob" is a blog exploring and celebrating the 'reality' of an alternate universe in which everything that ever happened on TV actually takes place.
Most of my theories about the TV Universe come from thinking inside the box and thus can't be proven. But I've never been one to shy away from a tall tale.....
Remember: "The more you watch, the more you've seen!"
